    I never tried roasted beets! This combination of ingredients is definitely completely new to me. Looks scrumptious!

  4. Now there is a welcome change from all the heavy food of the holidays. Love the salad, looks really delicious. Starting a diet this week, it will be on the menu.

    This looks fantastic and like a good detoxing from the holidays meal… just pinned to make when I’m back in SF 🙂

  6. Such a beautiful Christmas salad, Shashi! Hoping your holidays are wonderful and that the New Year brings you and your family many blessings! xo

  7. This is such a beautiful salad! :] I don’t know why I always forget that beets exist (I’ve only really ever made something with them once or twice in my life. ._.)

    I like that man’s philosophy. I would totally do that if it were feasible for me to do so! Since I cannot, I’ve been living it up in billions of layers and lots of hot soups. 😛

    Merry Christmas to you and your family! <3

  8. This would make the perfect Christmas Eve salad… might have to make it happen tonight! Happy holidays! Have a great one and eat lots of cookies! 🙂

    Hmmm…if I followed that older gentleman’s motto, then we should have moved out of upstate New York before we ever moved there to begin with! Haha! It’s ok, though. We’ve kinda started embracing the cold…we joined a curling club this year, and we’ve really enjoyed learning how to play the game! But let’s talk about this delicious salad for a minute. I’m not the biggest fan of beets (Laura is), but I absolutely love when they are roasted with other veggies. This salad looks like the perfect way to balance all of the cookies and junk food that always seems to show up at Christmas. Despite how hard I tell myself not to eat all of that stuff…I still do. But that’s what January and soup is for, right? 😉 Merry Christmas, Shashi!

  10. Looks Lovely!! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!! All the Best! xo Ramona 🙂

  11. Hmmm I like that man’s life motto….

    Love this salad! It is so festive with the red beets and green broccoli…and so nutritious as well!

  12. Roasted Veggies = my life right now, especially BUTTERNUT SQUASH!! 😀 😀 😀

    MERRY MERRY HOLIDAY TO YOUUUU!

    1. Thanks so much Erin – I couldn’t imagine it either – but, I guess if there’s nothing holding you down -why not right? 🙂

  18. My gosh, the thought of moving one more time is awful..but I FEEL him. It’s so cold here!
    Definitely need this salad to warm up…love the beets and eggs girlfriend. Have the merriest of Christmases!! XOXO! Pinned!

    1. Thanks so much lady!!! I shivered a little thinking about how cold it is in Seattle!!! Brrrrr!!! And I complain when we have lows in the 30’s here!
      Merry merry Christmas my sweet friend!xoxo

  19. That salad looks and sounds amazing! As far as temperature, I wish I could do something kind of the opposite… like, if the lowest temperature is ABOVE my age, I’d move. I’m loving this cold snap we’re having. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

    1. Haha – Sashi – I have so not been enjoying this weather we have been having – I am ready for summer! 🙂
      Hoping you have a wonderful Christmas too!

    1. Thank you so very much Melanie! God bless you and yours too – Merry Christmas! xxs

  20. What a gorgeous salad!! I’ve gotten really into beets lately … and with all the cookies I’ve been eating the last few days this is just calling my name! haha

    Merry christmas to you and your daughter!!

    1. I am so glad to hear you are loving beets – I think they so rock!!! Btw, thanks so very much Ashley! Merry Merry Christmas!!!! xxs

  21. I SO wish I could be the man (or, um, woman) who could move on a whim! There are times when even gorgeous and comforting beet salads just don’t warm me up from the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin.

    1. Gaaahhhhh – I don’t think even a million dollars would convince me to move to Wisconsin – I just looked y’alls weather up and y’alls highs re supposed to be in the 20’s next week??? Whaaaatttt????

    I’m going to show my mum this recipe. She needs to understand that it is possible to prepare hearty salads, full of nutrients and fulfilling too. Needless to day, this is a perfect dish to me. Sri Lanka? It must be a beautiful country. I wish I was there too!

    1. Thanks so much Daniela!
      I used to live in Sri Lanka with my parents till I was around 10, yes, it is gorgeous! But, I live in Atlanta – Georgia/U.S.A. these days.
